Heat Vision has posted an interesting article which features the writers or co-writers of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Thor, Green Lantern, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers talking about adapting the properties for the big screen.

You can check out what Edgar Wright, Mark Protosevich, Greg Berlanti, Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, and Zak Penn had to say here!

Captain America: The First Avenger director Joe Johnston told the Los Angeles Times the screen version of the hero will be true to his roots up to a certain point.

"We're sort of putting a slightly different spin on Steve Rogers," said Joe Johnston, "He's a guy that wants to serve his country but he's not a flag-waver. We're reinterpretating sort of what the comic book version of Steve Rogers was."

"He wants to serve his country, but he's not this sort of jingoistic American flag-waver," Johnston added. "He's just a good person. We make a point of that in the script: Don't change who you are once you go from Steve Rogers to this super-soldier, you have to stay who you are inside, that's really what's important more than your strength and everything. It'll be interesting and fun to put a different spin on the character and one that the fans are really going to appreciate."

Soon after, new life forms began to appear, and half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain "the creatures"...

I had so much fun this year. They've all been fun, but this seriously was the best comic con I've had in a long time.

First, a big thanks to the toy companies: Georg Brewer, Shawn Knapp, Jim Fletcher and Syndee Barwick of DC Direct, Scott Neitlich, Bill Benecke and the Four Horsemen of Mattel, Dwight Stall, Jerry Jivoin and David Vonner of Hasbro's Marvel team, Randy Falk of NECA and Chuck Terceira of Diamond Select toys. Thanks for taking the time to chat with me and get the pictures, folks!

Special Thanks to the Critical Mess guys! JQ3x29yz4a, aka David Galan and Mike S. They helped me out quite a bit and I don't think I would have made it through this weekend without them.

Big thanks to everyone that didn't stab someone in the eye with a pen. That's always appreciated. And thanks to my heart for holding up over four days of non-stop walking, very little sleep and not eating right.

A big thank you to the San Diego Comic-Con organizers, particularly David Glanzer, Jackie Estrada and John Rodgers. I still think SDCC is the best show of it's kind anywhere and all the work they put into it really shows.

Finally, a big thank you to the AFI crew, those that went and those that stayed home. Dan P, Abby, Jason, Peter, Ryan, Dan N, Jim, Erik and Jeff. I love this website. Thank you so much for everything that you do.
